Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Water must be filtered and purified to make it safe to drink. First the water is poured into the blue filters, and then a few drops of bleach are added. After the water goes through the filter it is poured into the clay cannery, which keeps it cool. It is ladled from the cannery for drinking.
